1 beg you all who read this book 
to be generous in your criticism 
for I wrote it purely and solely 
with love and help for those who 
have had like experiences and for 
those who seek and have the long- 
ings to find love, wisdom and 
peace as I have wished to have. I 
have had the experience that there 
is a world of love, where hate, 
jealousy and selfishness cannot 
come. 

Due to my material instruction 
on science of numbers, combined 



five 



with my spiritual instruction, I 
write you the story of the higher 
and lower self as the invisible 
forces taught it to me for the pur- 
pose of guiding me, giving me 
many experiences, helping me over 
severe sufferings, encouraging me 
to observe, test and prove their 
teachings. 

I dedicate this book to the 
truth seekers and to the unseen 
powers who have lighted my path. 



si,r 



The reason for writing this 
book is due to the encouragement 
from both the visible and invisible 
influences. My invisible helpers 
were those of the great beyond, 
those who passed over into the 
spirit land, also the forces of na- 
ture which the Theosophical 
books call nature spirits. Off and 
on these have been the only true 
friends I have known. 

There were times in my life 
when I experienced the remark of 



seven 



Jesus the Christ who said, ^^My 
servants are not of this world." 

I had these experiences when I 
was a mere child. Parents I had 
none, for my dear mother passed 
to the other side of life when I was 
six years of age. This left me with 
strangers. 

My childish heart ached for the 
return of my mother and her love, 
the only love I had. My mother, 
who was of a religious turn of 
mind, had taught me to pray. 
Naturally, after her death, I 
prayed for her return. Return she 
did, but it seemed strange to me. 
She taught me that she was not 
dead but could not stay with me. 
She said that I must wait until I 
should be able to come to her. Her 
teaching was always for good, to 
be a good girl and learn to read 



eight 



the Bible, and to pray every day. 
As I grew older my experiences 
increased, but many times I could 
not understand. 

The unseen forces taught me the 
meanings of color, sound and the 
science of numbers, and as I grew 
ojder I could prove many things 
materially by investigating, test- 
ing and proving their teachings 
to my own satisfaction afterwards. 

I tried to explain my experience 
to those who had me in charge, but 
they could not understand me and 
simply thought me impossible and 
my words imaginary and idle talk. 
Such treatment caused me to go 
alone, and so my life became filled 
with ideals. I loved the beautiful, 
art and music, — my little being 
was so full of love. By those with 
whom I came in contact I was 



nine 



thought emotional and foolish. 
All were so cold and without feel- 
ing for such longings and such 
love as I felt. Because of this, as 
time went on, I began to fear their 
remarks; they were so cruel and I 
was so unhappy in their presence. 
When I was not wanted, I wan- 
dered away by myself, asking 
within myself why my mother 
went away. Before I realized it, 
behold ! she would stand before me 
and answer my question. At times 
when she did not appear, others 
would come in her place and also 
teach me many things. These ex- 
periences gave me some peaceful 
moments, but caused me to grow 
up and live in a world all by my- 
self. 

Just because no one wanted me 
nor were they interested in my 



ten 



life, I looked for the companion- 
ship of the unseen world often, to 
seek their advice and question 
them about the why's and where- 
fore's of my life, and so they be- 
came my only friends. 

The people, who had me in 
charge, did not think it necessary 
to give me an education, even 
though my heart longed for wis- 
dom, art and music, love and 
peaceful surroundings. No mat- 
ter what I sacrificed I was unable 
to make people understand me. 
And still the visions came. At 
night when I was asleep, I 
dreamed I went to school, and, 
upon awakening I remembered 
what I had been taught, and later 
found the truth of these teachings. 
As I grew up I was told to investi- 
gate and prove these teachings to 



elez'en 



myself by looking up the ref- 
erences in the library. All this I 
was told to do by the invisible 
forces. The voices were audible 
to me, visions were shown me, and 
in time it was proven to me and 
others that, that which I received 
were great truths. 

During the day the forces 
guided me most wonderfully. 
Years went by before I ever read 
or even saw books that related to 
such experiences as I had from 
childhood on. Before I ever knew 
of Theosophy, I was told by the 
spirit world of my past lives and 
many laws besides. These in- 
visible powers directed me to find 
the Theosophical society which 
exists on earth today. So when I 
learned about it and its teachings, 
taking time to investigate and 



twelve 



study same, I found to my delight 
the material proof of all the teach- 
ings the spirit world had given 
me before I knew of Theosophy. 
This gave me more courage and 
faith in myself. It also taught 
those who thought I was imag- 
ining things as they said, when I 
tried to explain my experiences, to 
at least give me their partial at- 
tention. 

When I was at Krotona, our 
dear dean and teacher, Mr. 
Augustus Knudson, Krotona, 
Hollywood, California, en- 
couraged me to write my ex- 
periences, and with the help of my 
dear, beloved friend, Mrs. Pauline 
Althoff Oesau, who has ex- 
perienced many things with me, I 
succeeded in compiling this book.

Story 

OF THE 

Higher and Lower Self. 

Perfection ushers us forth into 
this world. Almost immediately 
the forces and laws set to work 
upon us in the course of evolution 
for various purposes, recognized 
for lack of better expressions, as 
good and evil. 

We are all born with two na- 
tures, called good and evil. Every 
one possesses a higher and a lower 



seventeen 



YoUj I, Everybody 



self called God and satan. No 
matter what nationality we are, no 
matter what creed we have, no 
matter what color, — at-one-ment 
is the law. 

Some already live more in the 
higher self, spoken of as the God- 
like or unselfish expression. Others 
live more in their lower self, 
known as worldly or selfish. 

Those who live in the higher 
self are with God and love their 
brother as they love themselves 
and do for their brother-man as 
well as for self. 

Those who live in the lower self 
love the world and look out for 
self only, and do their brother- 
man. 

You, I and everybody's story of 
the emotions of each one's lower 
and higher self is here put down 



eighteen 



You, I, Everybody 



for those who seek happiness on 
earth through love, beauty, wis- 
dom, power, wealth and fame. 

The ideals within us spurn us 
on. The lower self says, ^^I do for 
self only." The higher self says, 
^^No, I do for all, doing my duty 
to God and man." 

The lower self seeks happiness 
through the shorter and quicker 
path. The higher self takes the 
longer and slower path and 
knows its more lasting after all. 

The higher self says, ^^I want 
the lower self in at-one-ment with 
my higher self, without it I can- 
not be perfect." In order to have 
it the soul must transmute the low- 
er emotions into the higher emo- 
tions to become perfected. These 
are the soul's struggles in order to 
find eternal happiness. 



nineteen 



YoUj I^ Everybody 



When we were created in the 
image and likeness of God, we 
were given a free will to act and 
use the positive and negative 
forces, known in the world as good 
and evil. 

Remember the soul is only the 
image and likeness of God, not the 
God. In order to become one with 
God, we must gain experiences of 
earth. 

The soul, eating of the tree of 
good and evil, or positive and 
negative forces, lost its birthright, 
so it has many falls because of 
ignorance and innocence of many 
laws. 

In order that the soul gain its 
birthright again, it has to ex- 
perience many laws to get back to 
God to have perfect bliss. 



twenty 



You^ Ij Everybody 



The soul which follows the emo- 
tions of the lower self or body de- 
sires only, gets away from God and 
thus takes longer to find the path 
to go back.

YoUj I, Everybody 



The Path 

OF THE 

Higher and Lower Self. 

The lower self's loves corres- 
pond to the infernal love because 
its desires and loves give and re- 
turn only from the selfish stand- 
point. Its emotions run in all the 
lower passions, constantly putting 
temptations into the paths of 
others, using the ignorant and 
innocent for selfish gains, thereby 
giving the souls, who are with 
God, a hard and bitter life. Of 
course the world punishes the ef- 



tiventv-three 



You, I J Everybody 



fects instead of looking for the 
cause. 

Since God is just and life is 
eternal, we find, in the book of life, 
recorded — by the higher self or 
God within, who is one with God 
— all the thoughts, words and 
actions. Their higher self, which 
is one with God, knows no sin, 
pays the debt. 

The soul that lives in the higher 
self has many temptations to over- 
come, many trials and lessons to 
learn to become one with God. 
They are the tests of the soul to 
prove whether the soul really is 
with God. 

Alas! the world judges these 
souls and cries, ^^If you are with 
God, why do you suffer?" Because 
we seek to overcome the lower 
self; and since the world puts 



twenty-four 



You^ I^ Everybody 



obstacles into our path, the path 
is up hill work, God's path 
being narrow, few have trodden 
it. Again Jesus the Christ 
teaches, 'Who have overcome the 
lower self will gain eternal life 
and bliss, and are one with the Di- 
vine Love." 

The spirit which represents the 
mortal mind, gives influences, 
thoughts and ideas to the lower 
self which is cultivating the 
lower forces in man. Thus 
the soul cannot become attuned 
with the higher self or God in 
man. 

This mortal mind causes posi- 
tive conditions on the negative side 
of the soul's nature. 

LOVE is the creative force. But 
there are two kinds of love, divine 



tzventy-five 



You, I, Everybody 



and infernal love, or positive and 
negative. 

The infernal love corresponds 
to the lower self, or body. The 
higher self is the divine love or 
God. 

On earth the soul is more at- 
tracted to the negative forces, 
called the world, because the lower 
self or body is tempted by the 
world, thereby the soul forgets its 
higher self or God, its natural 
birthright. 

The lower self loves to ex- 
perience everything of the world 
regardless of the consequence and 
the promptings of the higher self 
or God within, or of the teachings 
of other higher selves, given for 
its benefit. 

With all the material and spir- 
itual experiences, you, I and every- 



twenty-six 



You^ I, Everybody 



body has had, you will find, that 
from age to age the human mind 
was controlled by influences of the 
lower and higher self. 

Mind should reflect only the 
higher self, which is the real self 
in man, and which we call God in 
man. When the higher self rules 
the lower self, named satan in man, 
then the lower self is made one 
with the real self called God, 
which belongs to you, to me and 
to everybody. 

The object of the higher self is 
to control the lower self. This 
takes many experiences. These 
many experiences are called birth- 
paths, running from the spiritual 
to the physical plane and from the 
physical back to the spiritual, 
combining our vibrations of life, 
known as the seven lower mind 



twenty-seven 



YoUj Ij Everybody 



vibrations and seven higher mind 
vibrations. These are found in the 
color spectrum as well as in the 
musical scale. 

Since each color and sound in 
time produces its form, we have 
the causes and effects of certain 
color, sound and form. 

You, I and everybody are thus 
being shown that the image of God 
in all of us is the creator of its 
own vibrations; or, in other words, 
we are the creators of our own 
causes and their effects. 

This teaching coincides with 
that of Jesus' teachings and is 
scientific as well as religious. Ap- 
plication of it proves to man that 
he can have heaven on earth pro- 
vided he is willing to master self. 
The fact must not be lost sight of 
that we have, however, if we wish, 



twenty-eight 



You^ I J Everybody 



eternity to do so. On the other 
hand though, it must not be for- 
gotten, that the stronger we de- 
velop the lower self, the harder 
the uphill road will be, which 
must be traveled, to find again the 
higher self or God. 

The higher self in man, or God, 
knows or recognizes no time, for 
it had neither a beginning nor an 
ending. 

The higher self has always ex- 
isted, the lower self only being 
limited and not lasting. 

Again, the lower self in man is 
destructive, whereas the higher self 
is constructive always. This is 
seen in the facts relative to the re- 
newal of the old into new. You, I 
and everybody will find that all 
destructive forces are made new 
by the constructive forces, and so 



twenty-nine 



You^ Ij Everybody 



age after age, destructive forces 
are proven not to be lasting, but 
the constructive forces are at work 
constantly. Thus the spirit in all 
the kingdoms, — mineral, veg- 
etable, animal and human, will 
ever build anew, giving us to 
realize and understand that the 
negative will in time force the pos- 
itive, the positive at times forcing 
the negative. This we call cause 
and effect at work. 

To learn when to be negative 
and when to be positive is the 
secret and is called wisdom. To 
gain this wisdom, both negative 
and positive forces are necessary 
to make the one. 

When the lower self is at one 
with the higher self, perfection is 
the result, called a master mind. 



thirty 



You J I J Everybody 



The higher self or spirit needs 
the lower self or matter or body 
in order that it may express itself 
to gain perfection. 

Whenever the lower self is not 
attuned with the higher self or 
spirit, the expression, impression 
and re-expression is not perfect be- 
cause man is limited. It is the 
higher self in man that is un- 
limited. 

Vibrations are made of color, 
sound and form, which belong to 
thoughts, words and deeds. 

The thoughts are things, the ac- 
tions are deeds, the words belong 
to sounds. The three therefore 
show color, sound and form, in 
turn give us cause and effect, and 
that in turn brings about our past, 
present and future. 



thirty-one 



YoUj Ij Everybody 



When these truths are under- 
stood, we will have proven to us 
the reasons for the differences in 
character. As good and evil build 
our character, so vibrations make 
our aura. Vibrations encircle us. 
You, I and everybody, may accept 
or reject these good or evil vibra- 
tions. 

Vibrations are sent us in 
thoughts. These are seen in color 
and in sound and eventually take 
on form, giving us to understand 
the proper use of judgment, 
observation and creation, thus 
enabling us to control self and our 
environments, thereby gaining 
perfect harmony in self as well as 
about self and everybody. 

The discord between two per- 
sons is caused by the mixing of the 
auras or magnetisms. This in turn 



thirty-tzvo 



You, I J Everybody 



is explained in terms of cause and 
effect. 

If one lives largely in the high- 
er self and the other in the lower 
self, the one in the lower self can- 
not comprehend or believe in the 
one who has already developed the 
lower self in harmony with his 
higher self. 

The one with the higher self 
developed is able to understand 
the ignorance of the one of the 
lower self and therefore should 
have forgiveness and compassion 
in order that he may prove to the 
person of the lower self that the 
higher self in man exists, thus 
proving his God, again proving 
the positive vibrations in man. 

God is LOVE and love is the 
keynote to all vibrations, therefore 
not until you have control of the 



thirty-three 



YoUj I, Everybody 



negative and positive forces or vi- 
brations will you know God. It is 
for man to choose whom he will 
serve. If he serve both, both good 
and evil causes are started and 
good and evil will be the effects in 
his life. 

You ask, ^ What are the negative 
and positive forces that build our 
causes and effects?" The answer 
is simple: 

Everything that is thought, 
acted and said to help others as 
well as self is called positive, 
good and constructive; everything 
that is thought, acted and said to 
hinder others or self is said to be 
negative, evil and destructive. 

The law is unity; no one can suc- 
ceed alone; each man is linked 
with the other. All belong to the 
grand man. We are the image and 



thirty-four 



You, Ij Everybody 



likeness of God. Each of us comes 
from the same spiritual vibration 
which in turn is related to the 
grand man. Thus if you give out 
hate to a man who belongs to the 
vibration of the heart or any other 
organ of the grand man, you are 
violating a law of God, because 
you too possess a heart and the 
other organs. 

The way in which this per- 
fection can be reached may be 
reasoned thus : Since everyone is a 
part of the other, no one can be 
excluded. Each organ and faculty 
corresponds to that of the grand 
man. If in one individual one or- 
gan is the chief controlling force, 
all other individuals, vibrating to 
the same organ, harmonize in 
that particular vibration. Thus is 
the remainder still left to be de- 



thirty-Uve 



You J I, Everybody 



veloped in one's self for Jesus said, 
^^My Father has many mansions, 
I shall prepare a place for you." 
Study the mansions you occupy, 
which correspond to the twelve 
months of the zodiac, and study 
the cycle in which you were born, 
for that will prove to you why you 
meet other souls and why you 
come in contact with them. 

The name proves to you, me and 
everybody the character that you 
already possess. The mansion one 
belongs to, you and I and every- 
body, indicates your forces. We 
reap the causes and effects we 
have set in motion, again proving 
the saying of Jesus the Christ that 
everyone must work out his own 
salvation, by developing for per- 
fection. 



thirty-six 



YoUj Ij Everybody 



In course of the ages, Jesus, the 
Christ came to show us what a 
perfect character should be, and 
every conscious atom holds in 
latency the desire to become per- 
fect, so also every human being is 
working for perfection. 

It is necessary for everybody to 
sturdily battle with earth ex- 
periences, under all conditions, till 
we have learned the lesson which 
God wishes us to learn. Every- 
body is here for that. 

As soon as we take to heart the 
lesson which is here for us to learn, 
so soon will the cross be removed. 
Life is eternal. 

Every word, thought, action, 
and deed must be accounted for, 
sometime. But some souls are lag- 
gards and are slow in doing the 



thirty-seveyi 



You^ I J Everybody 



work God has chosen for them to 
do. 

If the soul yields to the lower 
earth currents, called sins of body, 
mind and spirit, the feeling of un- 
rest is in his soul. Till he learns 
to go to God and learns to study 
his real self, the God within him, 
called his higher self, — till the soul 
finds the God within him and lives 
it, — he finds no rest. Not until then 
is God with him. Then the real 
God-self within reveals the secrets 
of the past, present and future. 

All must learn to live according 
to the law of nature and the spirit 
to be happy, healthy and success- 
ful. If the suffering soul has not 
these qualities, it is high time for 
said soul to get busy and find the 
cause of evil effects. By removing 
evil causes and creating better 



thirty-eight 



You, I, Kverybody 



ones, the bad effects will be healed. 
The longer the soul waits the long- 
er the suffering. The sooner he 
mends his ways the sooner the per- 
fections and healing. Sooner or 
later we must all come to per- 
fection. 

If you don't wish perfection 
when the soul's time comes, God 
forces it upon you, by bringing 
about forces of poverty, sickness 
and unhappiness. These are the 
warnings every soul gets to seek 
God, love, justice and wisdom. No 
one can deceive God. God is just. 

Every life or keynote has its 
duty, lesson and mission and its 
good or evil reward. Every life 
or keynote has its own particular 
happiness. 

If a soul lives its own keynote 
or life that is written for it to live, 



thirty-nine 



You, I, Everybody 



do and learn, then has he won a 
victory over self. 

When persons meet as indi- 
viduals, they often clash because 
of inharmony of their aura or 
magnetism. These things are no 
more than expressions of harmony 
or inharmony on either the phys- 
ical, intellectual or spiritual 
planes. 

Developed souls, through 
LOVE, become one with all be- 
ings. If the soul lives at its high- 
est, meaning as good as it possibly 
can, all things are friends no mat- 
ter how they appear. 

Thus are our enemies ex- 
plained: We have friendly ene- 
mies, we have open enemies, and 
we have secret enemies. 

Our friendly enemies are those 
who gain our confidence and who 



forty 



You, I, Everybody 



accept our love or good, then 
when the time expires and we have 
served theii* selfish ends, they turn 
on us and become our secret en- 
emies and in time also become our 
open enemies. Such souls are all 
living in their lower self and — 
BEWARE! Nevertheless, you 
who seek God and try to live in 
your higher self, if such ex- 
perience you have had with said 
lower selves, consider it your God, 
even if you have trusted and loved 
such lower selves from and 
through your higher self. Your 
part was God and God is over all. 
God was kind to have you find 
them out before you became their 
slave for life. Take it as a lesson, 
for such it is — to become a master 
mind. The next time when such 
lower selves seek you, do as Jesus 



forty-one 



You^ I, Everybody 



the Christ said, ^'Don't throw the 
pearl before the swine, for fear 
they shall rent you," and think as 
the Master did, "Forgive them for 
they know^ not what they do." If 
they knew, they would not do it. 
This explains the law that evil 
punishes itself. 

Again I say, if you have an en- 
emy who seeks to find your faults 
and thinks himself so perfect, rise 
above and look within. Ask this 
question, "Is he right or wrong?" 
If he is right, take his criticism to 
heart and do better, for he was 
then your friend in disguise. If 
your enemy is wrong, rise above 
and prove your good; be firm and 
stand for your truth and do not 
fear to speak the truth. 

Watch your own soul's work- 
ings, the rest will take care of it-

the rights and wrongs will be 
meted out to everyone.

YoUj I, Everybody 



Laws Governing 

THE 

Higher and Lower Self. 

The lower self is rich in 
promises but poor with blessings. 

The lower self, or the negative 
or evil force, corresponds to the 
seven darker shades in colors, and 
are related to the seven notes in the 
scale of music. The higher self, 
or positive or good force, cor- 
responds to the lighter shades in 
color and are related to the seven 
notes in the scale of music. These 
colors and sounds are called the 



forty-five 



You^ I, Everybody 



vibrations of your thoughts which, 
in time, become actions. 

There will come a time, when 
everybody will develop the spirit 
sight. When that time comes then 
we shall have heaven on earth, be- 
cause then we are aware of each 
other's intentions, and because of 
such, we will make it our duty to 
do right to everybody. 

Nothing makes us one but love 
and brotherhood. Everybody must 
learn to be and live the truth, to 
be the truth ; look for the light, to 
be a light. 

No one lives for himself, for 
everything is bound by cords to 
every other living thing. This is 
proven by your birthpath, called 
your keynote. 

By working out your vibrations 
through science of numbers, they 



forty-six 



You J I, Everybody 



give you to understand yourself 
and prove your limitations and 
unlimitations. Through color, 
sound and name, or number, they 
prove everybody's emotions. 

The lower self, the body of de- 
sires, is the higher self distorted 
by the murky ethers of the flesh. 
The lower self is the illusion and 
will pass away. These murky 
ethers can be seen by those who 
live in the higher self, correspond- 
ing to color, sound and form. 
These thoughts and actions of the 
lower self are powerful in jeal- 
ousy, hate and lust. 

Everybody's higher self is re- 
lated to color, sound and form and 
corresponds to the colors and 
sounds of the purified colors and 
perfected musical scale, because 



forty-seven 



You J I J Everybody 



the higher self is full of purity, 
love and truth. 

If you should ask me what to 
study I would say, ^^Study and 
know thyself." 

In the path of life, man and 
woman should walk hand in hand. 
The one without the other is but 
half. Each has a work to do for 
the other to make the whole. The 
female stands for love, the male 
for wisdom ; positive and negative 
forces, combined, bring about the 
creative forces. 

Today we walk in sorrow, to- 
morrow we are filled with joy. 
Everybody asks why these heights 
and depths, and these light hearts 
and sad ones are found in every- 
one's life. This is true. Every- 
body receives the lessons he needs ; 
the spirit loves the pure, good and 



forty-eight 



You J I, Everybody 



true, but the world is cruel to these 
spiritual souls. 

Those who live in the lower self 
and seek the body desires the 
world calls those souls its own. 
Now the soul becomes the battle- 
field between the two called the 
higher and lower self. 

Blessed is the man whose spirit 
is triumphant and whose lower self 
is purified, whose soul is cleansed, 
becoming a fit temple of the God, 
call the Christ. 

In the beginning, the laws were 
just and people lived in peace. 
Everybody knew the light and 
walked in the light and brother- 
hood was their law. Everybody 
now does not understand God's 
ways nor what they are here for 
nor the accord of the law. But 
God is just. He will always bring 



forty-nine 



YoUj Ij Everybody 



about the beacon light before the 
world, for the few who wish to 
take the narrow path to gain 
eternal bliss. 

Words do not count until they 
are rnade alive with actions of 
truth and until the lesson they 
contain become a part of heart and 
head. 

Hate is a cruel word. Regard 
it not. LOVE ! and when your mis- 
sion is fulfilled, to the land of love 
you go, where sufferings, jealousy 
and hate are not. 

Pain will follow those that hate, 
who speak and act with evil 
thought and intention. Then too, 
nature is a hard task master and is 
no respector of person. But the 
greatest of them all are you ; if you 
conquer your lower self. These 
also are the records of the sacred 



nfty 



You, I, Everybody 



books and also the instructions of 
the master minds. 

Prayer has great power, so pray 
you much. Prayer is the power 
of the soul and is a weapon to fight 
the lower self. Praise and thank 
God always. 

In preparation of your work 
you must walk in many thorny 
paths. At times you may be 
wronged without a cause just be- 
cause you want to live in the high- 
er self or walk in the law of God. 
Those who live in the lower self 
hate those who seek the God. 

A man who wrongs another man 
can never be forgiven until he 
rights the wrong to him whom 
he has done the wrong. Do not 
think good deeds to others will 
save you and right the wrong. The 
debt is still pending, and the gates 



fifty-one 



You^ I J Everybody 



of heaven are closed until you 
right the wrong to the one you 
wronged. 

It is natural for you to be loved 
by those to whom you have given 
good. They are ignorant of the 
wrong you did to others so they 
accept you as good and you had 
the experience of your wrong do- 
ings and know that the loss of 
reputation is a real loss, therefore 
you show only your good, because 
the lesson has taught you to be 
good. Still you cannot be accepted 
by God till you have made good to 
the one you have wronged. Re- 
member! God rules you, and in 
some life you will be called to do 
your duty to the wronged ones. 

There are three laws that rule 
our lives, therefore we have no 
right to judge a life. There are 



afty-hvo 



You, Ij Everybody 



reasons for the Christ saying, 
^^Judge ye not lest ye be judged," 
which is explained as follows: 
Some souls must pay the debt of 
their sins. Some are young souls 
on the path of evolution. Some 
are stewards to be tested. 

Souls who are young souls are on 
the path of evolution and are still 
in ignorance and innocence of said 
laws. These do their first offense, 
seeking experience, to gain their 
lessons. It is for the greater souls 
to teach these young souls with 
love and patience and truth the 
lessons they came to learn. The 
older souls must not forget that 
they, too, were imperfect while 
they were young souls and had 
help and instructions before they 
were efficient. They, too, had a 
chance and should therefore be 



fifty-three 



You J ly Everybody 



willing to aid those who need a be- 
ginning. 

Some souls stand for God, and 
in the sight of God are stewards to 
be tested and to prove their God. 
In other words, they have a mis- 
sion to perform to the younger 
souls of earth, in fact to all. If 
they fail to do their duty, the say- 
ing of the Christ teaches us to be- 
ware and that rather a mill-stone 
be hung around their neck than 
offend one of His children. So 
pay you must. Each law has its 
cause and effect, and each reward 
and punishment will come at the 
proper time. 

God gave man a will, so every- 
body has the power to choose the 
good or evil path. Cause and ef- 
fect is the law. 



■fifty-four 



You J I J Everybody 



If one seeks to please the will 
of the lower self, such is his re- 

p ward and gain. Man is not helped 
over dangerous grounds or helped 
to fight his foes. Everybody must 
be his own regiment, and if you 
are with God, He will light the 
way. 

The ten commandments are 
given to everybody. All have 

^ promptings of the voice within to 
distinguish right from wrong. The 
golden cord runs through them all 
and makes them one, and that is 
the word LOVE. 

If one is full of love, you can 
do nothing but honor God and 
man. If we love we need no com- 
mand of any kind. Remember, 
God does not have favorites and 
still be a just God. God has his 



fifty-fLve 



You, I J Everybody 



laws. If God leaves us it is be- 
cause we leave Him. 

In science of numbers we use the 
whole name and birth vibrations 
as tools to help to find ourselves 
and our work in this span of life. 

Your name and birth keynotes 

are the tools that remind you of 

the tools we handle in the work- 
» 

shop to build our earthly homes. 
Such also are the tools we use to 
build our temple, called the body, 
so that the spirit has a perfect 
vehicle to express its perfections. 
It is the positive and negative or 
the good and evil that build our 
character. 

Let us use the square to measure 
all our lines, to straighten out the 
crooked vibrations and make our 
conduct square. 



fifty-six 



You^ Ij Everybody 



Let us use the compass to draw 
circles around our shortcomings 
and use the word of love to get in- 
to the bounds of rightousness. 

Let us use the ax to cut out the 
knotty, useless thoughts to make 
the character more symmetrical. 

Let us use the hammer to drive 
home the truth until every part of 
us walks in and is the truth. 

Let us use the plane to smooth 
the rough and uneven forces with- 
in us and join block and board to 
build our temple, called the body. 

These are the tools and many 
others, which have their uses in 
the work shop of the mind. Don't 
forget to go up the ladder with its 
trinity of steps, called the uphill 
path, belonging to the higher self, 
— love, faith, hope, trust, charity. 



fifty-seven 



You, I, Everybody 



truth and purity. The downward 
path belongs to hate, fear, doubt, 
revenge, selfishness, hypocrisy and 
lust. 

These are the laws of right and 
wrong and anybody who breaks 
the laws of love and right will 
come to grief. But those who live 
and do God's law will climb to the 
the heaven where they will find 
eternal bliss, the land of divine 
love, where those of hate cannot 
reach us, for God is just, and it is 
in heaven as it is on earth, — scat- 
tering love and peace over all, and 
giving good will to all men.

Colors and Sounds 

OF THE 

Higher and Lower Self. 

Everybody's name is formed 
from the letters in the alphabet, 
which are related to number, color 
and sound. In the rainbow we 
find the spectrum of colors and 
also in nature. 

Nature is our teacher and also 
our task master. Colors are re- 
lated to sound which we find in 
the scale of music. 

Pythagoras in the VI. Century, 
before the birth of the Christ, 



fifty-nine 



You J I, Everybody 



gave to the world his theory of the 
^^Music of the Spheres" when he 
gave to the Greeks the funda- 
mental principles of music now in 
use. 

The science of numbers is the 
exact teaching of Pythagoras. 
Pythagoras said, ^^Every letter of 
the alphabet has its own rate of 
vibration and color." 

The rate of consciousness the 
person or thing is expressing, can 
always be told by the name the 
person or thing is using. The rate 
of vibration shows the quality of 
force the thing or person is using. 
The higher the rate of vibration 
the greater the degree of spiritual 
force expressed. Consciousness 
shows what we can understand. It 
shows to what we are related. 



sixty 



You J I, Everybody 



The cosmic law speaks and acts 
through different expressions of 
one force according to the 
strength of its vibration, moving 
at its own rate of speed. Moving 
at a certain rate it has sound, at 
another rate, color. 

Your name tells what you are, 
what rate of consciousness you 
have reached. The vowels in the 
name hold the hidden desires 
which wish for expression. Thus 
your name is the true index of your 
character. Your name brings the 
source of supply, as an individual 
cannot go above the level of his 
consciousness, he sees everything 
from his standpoint. You are liv- 
ing to advance, that is why you are 
on this earth. 

Perhaps there is no subject so 
misunderstood as re-incarnation. 



sixty-one 



You J I J Everybody 



Let us explain this by asking you 
a question. Has it ever occurred 
to you that God could not be just 
since some are born with talents 
and others without, some rich and 
some poor, some well and some 
diseased, some homely and some 
perfect in form in one life? Jus- 
tice cannot be meted out in one 
span of life, so reason tells us that 
there must be another life for God 
to be just to all. 

The month, day and year is 
called your birth force or birth 
keynote. The birth force of your 
keynote shows the special work 
the soul came to do. This birth 
force is the instrument to use dur- 
ing all of your life's journey. 

When we were ready to come 
into this world, with the sure 
knowledge of spirit, we chose the 



sixty-two 



You, I J Everybody 



path in life which contained the 
many experiences necessary to 
strengthen our weak points and 
advance the growth of the soul in 
order to make what is called a 
perfect character. The birth path 
shows the kind of work we need to 
do, its quality, color, sound or 
musical note. 

We all feel that certain colors 
exert more influences over us than 
others. The first breath the child 
breathes into its little body, in the 
objective world, is the breath that 
is filled with the color of the at- 
mosphere. It absorbs its rays and 
breathes from center to circum- 
ference and from circumference 
to the center. So if we are doing 
the work we came to do, we know 
just which force we are using. 
Everything in the universe is an 



sixty-three 



You J I J Everybody 



expression of spiritual strength. 
The expression may be faulty for 
the instrument may not be prop- 
erly attuned, but the principle 
never fails. Through vibration 
comes motion, through motion 
comes color, through color comes 
tone. Every living soul, even the 
humblest, is attuned to one certain 
note, advanced souls being at- 
tuned to all notes, called brother- 
hood. 

Your aura is the force of your 
system of body, soul and spirit, ex- 
pressed in finer form, and speaks 
through color. 

You can find the meaning and 
message of all colors as well as of 
everything else in the seen and un- 
seen v^orld, by finding its vibra- 
tion. Each soul is a letter in the 
book of life. When that vibra- 



sixty-fotcr 



You, I, Everybody 



tion is known and understood, the 
individual becomes in tune with 
the Infinite. Every thought pro- 
ceeding from the mind of man is 
likewise a creation. 

When our mind creates a 
thought, the representative of that 
thought is self engraved upon the 
astral fluid, which is the receptacle 
of all manifestations of being. 

One's name and birthpath gives 
you a message through color, 
sound and number. The mean- 
ings and messages of all colors, 
sounds and numbers or names are 
illustrated as follows : The num- 
ber one has its color and note, giv- 
ing forth on the positive side the 
creative or constructive force. On 
the negative side it is destructive. 
Its note is "c" and its color is the 
red flame. The number two has 



sixtV'five 



You, Ij Everybody 



the collecting force. The positive 
is for good, the negative for self. 
Its color is orange and its note is 
"d." The number three stands for 
expression added with the one and 
two vibrations called impression, 
repression and expression, on the 
three planes. The color is yel- 
low and the note is ^^e." The 
positive is God and the negative 
is a Judas. Number four means 
physical and mental force, com- 
bined, its colors are blue and 
green. The note is ^^f" and 
the positive side is the using of 
physical and mental force for all, 
the negative for self. The number 
five stands for life and sex. The 
color is pink, the note is ^^g.'' 
The positive expresses life, sex 
and spiritual force on the higher 
planes. The negative side ex- 



sixty-sLr 



You^ I J Everybody 



presses life and sex and uses spir- 
itual force on the lower planes. 
The six expresses the cosmic 
mother or fatherhood. Its colors 
are scarlet, orange and heliotrope. 
The note is ^^a." Its positive force 
is filled with prophetic voices. Its 
negative force is to keep from 
physical destruction. The number 
seven expresses the perfect num- 
ber. One of its colors is purple. 
The note is ^^b." On the positive 
side it gives physical perfection, 
repentance and remission. On the 
negative side it gives revenge, al- 
ways looking backward. The 
number eight stands for resur- 
rection and brotherhood. The 
color is very white-yellow. The 
note is the upper ^^c." So now you 
have the entire octave in the scale 
of music. On the positive side it 



sixty-seven 



YoUj Ij Everybody 



stands for divine justice, on the 
negative side it is a slave driver. 
There are many more meanings to 
colors, sounds and numbers which 
are related to our higher and 
lower selves, but they are given in 
the full course of science of num- 
bers. 

Now, the lower self in man, 
called the black or darkness, or 
unexpressed, or negative side of 
man, can be illustrated in color as 
it is given to you in the spectrum 
of the rainbow. The negative is 
impressed by beginning with the 
color red, from dark to the lighter 
shade, which gives us the color 
pink, then going into the orange, 
blending into the yellow, the red- 
orange, and yellow ray becomes 
the flame. The flame color, as you 
may have noticed, has a green 



sixty-eight 



You, Ij Everybody 



and blue cast. Then from the blue 
and green, the blue and green cast 
becomes the scarlet-orange, giving 
you the heliotrope. These com- 
binations give you the indigo, the 
indigo blends into a purple, going 
into the purified violet, and finally 
into all, which is the positive, the 
light, the white ray. The white 
ray corresponds to the developed 
soul or Christ principle in man, 
called the higher self. Just so 
souls have their color vibrations 
called keynotes which correspond 
to the scale in music, rating from 
discord to harmony. All the other 
colors you know, such as browns, 
grays and others are the sharps 
and flats. 

We read in the Bible, "In the 
beginning was the word and the 
word was with God and the word 



sixt'x-nine 



You, I, Everybody 



was God." Jesus said, '^But I say 
unto you that every idle word that 
men shall speak, they shall give an 
account thereof in the day of 
Judgment." 

No word is lost, it is indelibly 
stamped upon the astral records 
and the truth of Jesus' words, "For 
thy words thou shalt be justified 
and by thy words thou shalt be 
condemned," appear. Again Jesus 
said, "Sanctify them through thy 
truth." So you, I and everybody 
unconsciously or consciously use 
words of which we have to give an 
account. 

This is an absolute truth; to 
make the air indigo with swearing 
or melancholy feelings is not an 
idle statement, nor is rosy color 
with love and hope, a bright 



seventy 



You, I, Everybody 



canary with cheer, and azure with 
faith. 

Our thoughts and the tone of the 
speaking voice, create waves of 
color all about us. They are a 
blessing or the opposite for those 
with us, and to ourselves.

Conclusion. 

You well know everything 
comes in pairs and has its cause 
and effect. Pythagoras taught the 
laws of opposites, which should be 
carefully studied, as they are the 
key. The following opposites are 
noteworthy : — 

Positive forces: Negative forces: 



God 


Satan 


Good 


Evil 


Higher self 


Lower self 


Divine love 


Infernal love 


Divine mind 


Mortal mind 


Love 


Hate

Higher motives Lower motives 
and many others. If negative or 
evil forces come into your life, use 
your positive forces in a loving 
way. In other words, do your duty 
and rise above them. If you live 
and act your positive or good 
forces with love, you cannot fail, 
no matter how long it takes. Just 
be patient and give charity, the 
twin sister of love. Jesus, the 



seventy-four 



YoUj I, Everybody 



Christ said, '^If you have all the 
other qualities and have not char- 
ity and love, it avails you naught." 

We, at times, need the negative 
or evil forces to bring out and 
prove the good or positive forces 
within us. There are times in 
one's life when others use the good 
or positive forces for our benefit, 
and one being negative, does not 
value the good or the positive 
forces till another still more evil 
or negative force comes into one's 
life to teach or prove the value of 
those who were good or positive. 

The negative or evil force in- 
fluences us if we do not watch our 
thoughts and acts or use our pos- 
itive or good forces. 

Two people who seek to live the 
good and positive forces are a last- 
ing success. Two people who live 



seventy-five 



YoUj I, Everybody 



in their lower selves and who de- 
light in the desires of the lower 
self are not as lasting in the friend- 
ship because their lower selves 
seek positive forces or good. As 
neither of the two lower selves 
have made positive or good con- 
ditions the results are that both 
negatives or evil find fault with 
each other and the result is dis- 
cord. On the other hand, people 
who find each other, one living in 
his higher self and the other in his 
lower self, the one who lives in the 
higher self rejoices because he can 
be a benefit to the one of the lower 
self. The one who lives in his 
lower self, being helped by the one 
who is living in his higher self, is 
grateful to the one who lives in the 
higher self. The result is har- 
mony and they are one. The one 



sfvenfy-six 



You, I, Everybody 



has done his duty and is rewarded 
for it by the other who accepted 
the good. 

Again if people who find each 
other under the same conditions, — 
one living in his higher self and 
the other in his lower self, — are 
not willing to do their duty, and 
the one in the higher self has good 
intentions, because of the love he 
bears to the one living in the 
lower self, but the one in the 
lower self is not ready to admit 
the help and good extended to 
him, the result is discord. 

Because the lower self cannot 
understand the unselfishness of the 
higher self, — because he is too 
callous and selfish to feel the love 
and mercy given him, — he him- 
self turns from good. The higher 
self or God does not leave him. 



seventy-seven 



You, I, Everybody 



That explains the reason for love 
and hate separating from each 
other, since they have two separate 
paths, yet love conquers hate in 
time. Hate destroys itself. 

Two people who live in their 
lower self and use evil forces, can 
do great harm to those who live in 
their higher self from a worldly 
standpoint but not from a spir- 
itual standpoint, because the one 
who lives in his higher self does 
not return evil for evil, but good 
for evil. 

Again let's say two people meet 
each other, one thinks he is living 
in his higher self, the other seeks 
to know more of his higher self. 
The one who thinks he is living in 
his higher self turns down the one 
who seeks advice and help to find 
more of his higher self. The one 



seventy-eight 



You, I, Everybody 



who thinks he is living in his high- 
er self gave the other a stone when 
he asked for spiritual bread. The 
test and proof is, that the one who 
thinks he lives in his higher self 
is not at all doing so because the 
higher self in man gives love and 
wisdom and has mercy and charity 
for all. He makes it his duty to do 
so, for in the sight of God he 
should be one with God. The 
Christ said, ^^Beware, if any one 
should ask you for bread and you 
hand him a stone." Such are the 
pretended higher selves to which 
the Christ referred when He said, 
^ With their lips they flatter and in 
their hearts they think evil." The 
true, divine, higher self is known 
by his good works. 

This should prove to you that 
the positive and negative forces 



seventy-nine 



You, I, Everybody 



exist in man, giving you cause and 
effect of all the workings of the 
lower and higher keynotes shown 
in name and birthpath. The name 
indicates the possibilities, limita- 
tions and desires. The birth vi- 
bration shows the colors through 
which the soul chose to pass this 
incarnation, what he can expect, 
what he cannot expect, what he 
came to overcome and what 
he came for to gain. When the 
colors about you seems dark and 
unwholesome, go to the center of 
light within and ask reverently 
that the purest color of your birth 
vibration may flow out through 
every cell of your body and watch 
it go happily forth changing 
gloom into joy. I repeat again, 
that if you live your highest, ^11 



eighty 



You, Ij Everybody 



things are friends to you no mat- 
ter how they appear. 

As the colors of your keynote 
grow dull and impure down to 
their deepest shades, they become 
bright and radiant as the result of 
true thinking. 

No vibration of your body 
should be closed. Use your head 
and heart, your eyes and ears, your 
nose to breathe the breath of life, 
your voice to speak melodiously 
the words of love and truth, your 
hands and feet to work and get 
about to do good deeds. 

Each one should and can be 
happy in his own individual key- 
note, provided he works in the will 
of God. Without will power one 
cannot gain much of anything. 
The higher will power, for the 
good of all, is called the will of 



eighty-one 



YoUj I, Everybody 



God and is known as the con- 
structive force in man, the ^^I am 
that I am/' and the giving of it- 
self. When it is giving itself it is 
one with all selves and when you 
realize that law you cannot harm 
or do wrong any more. The will 
of the lower self leads to de- 
struction in time. It is called the 
personal, ^^I am" in man, the self- 
ish self. 

When you are sure that you 
have the truth, stand firm and fight 
for the truth. 

When the ignorant and the in- 
nocent come into your path, and 
others do them wrong and you are 
witness of the whole act, and if 
you do not help to uncover the 
same, you are acting against the 
law of God. In the sight of God 
you too are guilty of that wrong, 



eighty-two 



You^ I, Everybody 



because you feared to do the right, 
to give the truth, but instead, kept 
it for selfish ends. It was your 
mission to prove the truth, other- 
wise it would not have been put 
into your path. As you sow, so 
you reap, in a measure so deep, 
either pleasure or pain, by your 
acts and your thoughts. 

Everybody seeks the good and 
the truth, but few are generous in 
giving the truth and good. 

When Jesus the Christ said that 
he came not for peace but with a 
sword, we must understand by that 
remark that Jesus knew that the 
lower self does not like the force 
which downs error and brings 
forth the truth to those people, 
whom the lower self keeps in 
ignorance and under its power. 
The higher self, or God within, in 



eighty-three 



YoUj I, Everybody 



everyone will force upon the soul, 
at some time or other, to fight for 
its truth and liberty. This hap- 
pens when the lower selves have 
overstepped the laws of God 
toward those who try to live in 
their higher self. 

If there were no error there 
would not have been needed the 
Master Jesus to come to show us 
the way to overcome error and 
teach us to fight for right and 
truth. 

Evolution is the law, and if you 
do not go along the path of evo- 
lution, you simply stay behind. 
Everybody must work out his own 
salvation. 

Satan, our tempter, also has this 
mission and if you overcome him 
in yourself you will help him to 
overcome himself within himself; 



eighty-four 



You, I, Everybody 



then only he will turn into an 
angel of light. 

These are the experiences and 
laws of the lower and higher self. 
Until you, I and everybody will 
overcome our lower self to become 
one, with God, can w^e realize 
the at-one-ment of God, called 
brotherhood. You, I and every- 
body need each other to make the 
whole, for no one can succeed 
alone. Unity is the law. 

Every atom in the universe has 
its counterpart in some other 
atom. 

These counterparts are of op- 
posite sex, whose natures as- 
similate to each other so that 
when two unite, they form one 
perfect whole. All the organized 
beings upon the earth are formed 
after this principle. 



eighty-iive 



You, I, Everybody 



Everything has its counterpart 
in another sex, and no perfect 
union can be formed unless the 
two counterparts are precisely 
adapted to each other. 

When this takes place it is 
a perfectly conjugal union, then 
the two become one perfect 
whole and the union is complete 
and happy. 

Such union sometimes takes 
place among men and women 
upon the earth, but they are rare 
because there are so many 
artificial restraints to thwart and 
obstruct the natural inherent 
powers of the sexes assimilating 
and developing their attraction 
for each other. 

Death is the universal solvent

worldly restrictions and opposing 
influences, then they seek out their 
befitting counterparts according 
to the inherent influences of their 
being which destine them to per- 
fect conjugal union in the spirit 
world, that they could not ac- 
complish when on earth. 

Such is the nature of heavenly 
marriages which the Christ speaks 
of. 

Therefore, respect and love 
your wife, her love ennobles a 
man, wife and mother; they are 
the most beautiful ornaments of 
the universe and of them will be 
born all who shall inhabit the 
world. 

Woman, the divine temple 
should therefore keep her temple 
or body pure and holy.

It is woman's mission to sep- 
arate the good from the evil in- 
tention of man. 

When woman stands by wom- 
an, then will man, love, respect 
and do his duty in a holy way to 
all women. 

The greatest moral law is, 
^^Know thyself," and the second 
is, ^^Treat all men with that jus- 
tice and humanity with which, 
thou wouldst they should treat 
you." On these two obligations 
hang all the moral wisdom. Un- 
less a man knows himself to a 
certain extent, he is not worthy 
of the name of man. If he has 
no intelligence pertaining to his 
own nature, he is scarcely ele- 
vated a degree above the lower 
order of brutes.

A man who "knows himself"; 
believes in God; he knows that 
he is wonderfully made, and that 
he did not make himself. 

Having this self knowledge, as 
man advances in life, he becomes 
more refined and is of great 
worth. 

He is enabled to keep himself 
in health through knowledge of 
certain things. 

He is enabled to cultivate his 
mind because he knows that 
knowledge is power within him. 

He is desirious of cultivating 
his spirit because he has an 
intuitive impression that it came 
from God; and he has a desire to 
live a life of moral purity be- 
cause he knows it benefits his 
happiness here and hereafter.

What are the causes of our 
sufiferings? God is not guilty of 
such injustice and cruelty, for He 
is a God of Love and Mercy, 
striving to make all things good. 

How^, then, came these evils 
with which we all are afflicted at 
times? When the Great God of 
Nature put all matter into mo- 
tion, by mingling with it. His di- 
vine essence. He strove to do the 
best that could be done with the 
vast material mass by the 
power of His love and wisdom 
and as the various phenomena 
came forth, they were endowed 
with fixed and perpetual laws. 

As long as those laws are un- 
broken everything goes on well; 
when they are broken by any 
means they go on badly, and the 
result is ruin and destruction.

Every phenomenon that con- 
tinues from age to age in com- 
formity with established prin- 
ciples, becomes better instead of 
worse, and everything that de- 
parts from its original principle 
as it continues from age to an- 
other, becomes worse instead of 
better until it runs out and is 
lost. 

God never condescends to alter 
His fixed principles in any of His 
works. 

Man is one of those phenom- 
era which are worked out of God's 
eternal principles. 

If a man passes through life 
in accordance with these estab- 
lished principles, he does well 
and as he advances he improves. 
But if he departs from those 
principles he deteriorates, he be-

comes diseased, deformed and 
useless and in time, is lost. 

This is the cause of all dis- 
eases and deformities and in 
many cases caused either by your 
own hand, or by the hand of 
others. 

You call them afflictions and 
attribute them to God as the 
Author, but it is not so. He is not 
so cruel and merciless as to af- 
flict poor mortals who have erred 
through ignorance. He would 
rather lessen their miseries if he 
could, without altering His 
eternal principle of creation. 

As a proof of this He has en- 
dowed some men with powers 
which can lessen sufferings in 
others. Jesus, the Christ, was one 
of these powers. Man is com- 
posed of spirit and body. The 



ninety-two 



You, I, Everybody 



body may be unsound, but the 
spirit may be sound, and these 
sufferings of the body may open 
your eyes to the preservation of 
the spirit before it is too late to 
save it. 

Then thank God you are not 
all together impure and hope- 
less, for as the body may be past 
recovery the spirit is not so. 
The body dies and is lost in the 
elements, but the spirit, is pure, 
will live and enter another world. 

So we should gain wisdom 
from our sufferings turning our 
attention to cultivate the im- 
provement of our spirit, for that 
will profit us most. 

It is well to attend to the body 
so the spirit has a perfect in- 
strument. With the blessing of 
God through prayer and the 



ninety-three 



You J I J Everybody 



struggle within yourselves to 
prove worthy of the blessings of 
God, you may become cured. 

Do not give yourselves up to 
despair and fear, God will hear 
your voice, if you but pray, and 
do justice to your wrongs. 

Raise those who have fallen, 
give food to those who are hun- 
gry, help the sick, do right to 
your enemies, that you may be 
pure and just at the day of judg- 
ment. 

But he who acts otherwise, who 
transgresses the limits of his 
power over those under his rule, 
endangering their life, offends the 
Most High. 

If you resign yourselves to your 
fate, the Kingdom of Heaven will 
be reserved to you as a reward. 
Blessed be thou for having told 



ninety 'four 



You J I, Everybody 



the truth. The King of Heaven 
is greater and more powerful than 
those of earth and His Kingdom 
surpasses all Kingdoms here be- 
low. 

These are the teachings I re- 
ceived from the angel world. 
Many sufferings I could have 
avoided had I listened to their 
advice and not to some people who 
were the cause of my sufferings, 
due to their selfishness. 

This proved to me that God was 
with me and they were Satan like. 

If it were not true, why did I 
hear these Spirit voices who 
warned me of their evil intentions? 

Why? Because the Angel 
world looks into the hearts of the 
good, as well as into the hearts of 
the evil ones. 



ninety -five 



You, I J Everybody 



I feel that you, I and every- 
body should be helpful in over- 
coming each other's weaknesses. 

God rules the world, and seeks 
Everyone's physical, intellectual 
and spiritual perfection. 

So, I conclude with God's 
Blessings, peace and good will to 
Everybody. 

Come, come, come! 

Blend love's color again, 
Join, join, join! 

Dance the rosy ring, 
Love, love, love! 

The keynote all should sing.
